Dunkin’ is entering the ready-to-drink alcoholic beverage market, announcing the release of Dunkin Spiked coffee and tea beverages. The drinks will be available at supermarkets and package stores in 12 states by the end of August.
Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Coffee has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 6% and draws inspiration from the brand’s iconic coffee flavors. Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Tea, the brand’s first venture into the hard tea category, has an ABV of 5% and offers four signature flavors.
“We knew we had the opportunity to create something special when we saw the positive response to our previous seasonal collaborations for Dunkin’-inspired beers,” said Brian Gilbert, vice president of Retail Business Development at Dunkin’. “The growing appetite for adult beverages inspired us to put a twist on our customers’ favorite Dunkin’ Iced Coffee, Iced Tea and Refresher flavors.”
